AI Connectors

This topic describes how to connect an AI provider to Playblocks and how to use the AI Request step in custom automations.

Overview

Playblocks supports three AI providers:

  • OpenAI - ChatGPT models

  • Google Gemini

  • Anthropic Claude

Configure each provider on the Connectors page. After you connect a provider connector, custom automations can use it through the AI Request step to send prompts and receive AI-generated responses.

Connecting an AI Provider

You need an API key from the AI vendor (OpenAI, Google AI Studio, or Anthropic). Playblocks validates the key against the vendor's live API at save time and stores it encrypted.

To connect an AI provider:

  1. Open the Connectors page in the Playblocks portal.
  2. Locate the provider you want to connect (OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Anthropic Claude) and open its side panel.
  3. Turn on the Enabled toggle.
  4. In the API key field, paste your API key.
  5. Click Save.

    Playblocks validates the key.

    On success, the connector status changes to connected. You can choose a model to use in Playblocks steps from the list of models the provider allows.

  6. After the first successful save, from the dropdown, select a Model.
    Note:

    If you do not select a model, Playblocks falls back to the provider's default.

  7. Click Save to persist the model selection.
